A merging of opposites, the new collection by Rory William Docherty 'Renew' blends the poetic with the practical. The ethereal beauty of flowers and the earthy experience of growing them. Facets of couture flourish amid utilitarian details: there’s a European style sensibility, brought home.

A tailored gardening jacket does double duty: capacious bellows pockets are large enough to hold handfuls but when left empty, waist cinched, the silhouette is Paris circa 1947.

Practicality is softened with relaxed elegance. See it in the chalk and pencil colour palette and the Wilting Meadow floral prints. Throughout, functional details drive home the message of beautiful clothes made to be worn, over and over.
